Off-Grid Electrification of Communal Sections by Department: the Kay Klere Programme
Summary: A table (31 January 2019) breaking down the number of communal sections per department targeted for off-grid electrification under the Kay Klere program, with household and demand estimates. A regulator planning document, distinct from the regional-network mapping filed alongside it, and the only source the corpus holds naming this specific off-grid program.
Key Findings
- The program targets 572 communal sections, which is effectively the whole rural map, and the department shares show where the load sits: Ouest 112, Nord 82, Sud 69, Artibonite 64, Sud-Est 50, Grande-Anse 47, Nord-Ouest 39, Nippes 37, Centre 36 and Nord-Est 36.
- The demand estimate is built from a single assumption that a reader should see plainly: 1,000,000 families at 50 watts each, giving 50 MW. Fifty watts is a lighting-and-phone allowance, not a household appliance load, so the 50 MW figure describes basic service and not electrification in the sense of grid supply.
- The stated strategy is individual solar systems, so the plan is not mini-grids or extension of the EDH network but per-household kits, which is what makes a 572-section target arithmetically approachable.
- The document is a one-page planning table from the regulator dated 31 January 2019, so it records an intention and its sizing assumptions rather than results, and the corpus holds no execution reporting against it.
- The department counts sum exactly to the stated 572, so the table is internally consistent and can be reused for per-department allocation.
